As per the guy in the video..."210bhp" ! ONLY  :P
There's a few in the UK that kick out more than that now  ;)

JJ...re you comment "sold a few".. :P
Guy in video states only 1 other, sold to a rich (oil) family in Saudia Arabia.
And as for the SBR210....only one ever made....possibly the same one sold
that was sold to Saudia Arabia I'm guessing.

But I digress.....I/we have now managed to drag this thread
completely off the topic that it started as...viz á ve:

Well that's not really a case of seeing how much power we
can put under a 454 is it ?   :-\

Fast though it is, the Colt in the video is of an early light
weight 3 door 1998 (ish) model that has been gutted out and
adapted to take the 2.0 litre 4G63T engine and 4WD transmission
out of a Lancer EVO.

(Don't you just love the 'user friendly' power band of 5000-6500 ?  NOT
 Bet it's a great daily drive eh ?  On the Autobahn perhaps........)

So, entertaining though it may be, the video bares no relationship or
comparison to how much horsepower we can get from an FWD Brabus
with the earlier small capacity 1.5 litre 4G15T lump in it.

I would say its totally possible to fit 4G63T because Kosonen did fit it in Mk3 Colt.

I won't say it is easy but surely you can do it without too big modifications to engine bay.
